Reliance develops $12 4G-enabled Phone Jio Bharat costs 999 Indian rupees, which is about $12.2. The Indian giant said that the Jio Bharat is made for the 250 million people in India who have found it too expensive to switch to a 4G network. The phone is part of the deal, and the new cheap pricing plan is the other.

Reliance said that the Jio Bharat will be available to customers starting July 7 as part of a “beta trial.” It said that the trial was set up to “ensure scalability” of the platform and methods for upgrading “millions of feature phone users.”
“This is another step in that direction with the new Jio Bharat phone.

The Jio Bharat is not the first low-cost phone that Reliance has made. Over the years, the Indian company has put out a number of cheap phones. Late in 2021, the company showed off its first smartphone, which was called JioPhone Next. The project was a big partnership with Google, which powered the device with a “extremely optimised” version of its Android mobile operating system.
Sundar Pichai said in 2021, “The JioPhone Next is an affordable smartphone made for India. It was inspired by the idea that everyone in India should be able to take advantage of the opportunities the internet creates.”
But the fact that the JioPhone Next cost $80 made it harder for more people to buy it.
